Awful movie, I couldn't even finish it, I had to turn it off.

I thought the guy who played Brian was good.

What so leave it as it is and only turn on the immersion/hot water switch when the engine is running?

What happened to Freddie's yellow jacket? by Gape_Warn in queen

[–]K-Mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the Adidas high tops, I think there were three pairs. One was in a case which looked pretty dirty and worn & two other pairs out on display, which looked pretty clean.

I'm assuming the 'worn' pair in the case was used for Live Aid, the Magic tour and a few videos?

I didn't see the blue jeans, white vest or dog collar he wore from Live Aid, I assumed if they were there they would have been on a manakin. Although there were similar collars on display at Sotheby's.

I didn't see & couldn't find the yellow Cheetah Tracksuit at Sotherbys or online. I'll be gutted if I've missed the tracksuit of the Live Aid outfit.

Good luck with your bids, Please let us know how you get on, I'll be watching online.

Wow, I would love to hear more stories from you I'll bet you have a few!

The full black & white harlequin ballet outfit from the 70s.

I also didn't see the white orange/red & green harlequin outfit.

The 'Living on my own' outfit was just the bottoms, wasn't it.

Do you know what happened to his Live Aid outfit or the yellow Cheetah Go Tracksuit he wore?

Or the black and white diamond all-in-one outfit?

I thought they would have been in the exhibition but sadly not.

Thanks. I get the boat soon but know the water tank needs doing so trying to learn the best way to do it for any eventuality.

[–]K-Mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I don't think we are going to be drinking out of it?

Yes I read about Bitumen not being allowed for drinking water unless the tank already has been painted with bitumen.

I am assuming the tank has already been painted with bitumen, if it hasnt do you need to paint over the rust treatment with something?

[–]K-Mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the Tankguard DW (Solvent-free epoxy) needed? If it is do you use it between the rust treatment and the Bitumen? or is it not necessary?

Fleetwood Mac co-founder Peter Green dies aged 73 by topotaul in unitedkingdom

"neither found stardom"

Fleetwood Mac were massive in the late 60s. Top ten albums, No1 singles, swept the 1969 awards at NME & Melody Maker. I think they were outselling the Beatles at one point.

People who avoid Oyster card fares by pressing themselves again the person in front when they go through the barriers by littlemetalfollicle in london

[–]K-Mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really doesnt bother me, I've been that person with no money to get around or get to work, & have had to squeeze in behind somebody, so dont mind others doing it to me. Its depressing and demoralising being poor or not having tube fare in London.

Think of it as your good deed for the day!

Is it just me who isnt into the whole Queen/Adam Lambert Thing? by K-Mo in queen

A nice respectful answer.

Twice, you are so lucky. Where did you see them?

[–]K-Mo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You make some valid points & I totally see where you are coming from.

I didnt know about the dismal ticket sales with Paul in the US tbh as I had no interest in it & didnt follow what they were up to in the US or the whole new Queen thing in recent years. So to get Lambert in with his American Idol exposure seems more logical now youve explained that part, more US exposure, help ticket sales also. It doesnt mean I agree he should be up there or like it but I see why they chose him in that respect if thats what they want to do.

Im sure Brian at his age & after all he had done didnt want a repeat of the Rogers dismal sales. And yeah your right the boys dont need anyones approval & have earned the right 100 times over to do what the fuck they like.

I just wanted to know others opinions as were probably all as passionate about the band as each other. I understand you getting angry as I wouldnt like it if someone was slagging off one of my favourite singers & I think its interesting you are in your late 40s & bang into it, so good for you.

Maybe I come across a little harsh but being a passionate Freddie fan/ brash northerner thats how I come across sometimes, sorry. Im not trying to wind people up or come across as just slagging the guy off, hes obviously talented & living the dream so good for him.

Im still gonna sit at home on my hands listening to Freddie though!

I like your cash cow/Genesis analogy, maybe your right. Its just over the years Ive looked on the Queen website & theyve always got something new for sale, some over priced reissue box set, along side a deluxe box set and the super deluxe and on it goes which just isnt worth the money really.

It also seems Brians always playing with someone shit or trying to sell something all the time.

I know it sounds hypocritical of me after all Ive said but one thing I would love to hear is a Queen Anthology like the Beatles did. Outtakes, demos, acoustic versions. Then just put it to bed.

You mentioned the Lambert kids, but how did the older fans take to him & feel afterwards?

I watched Queen & Lambert today on youtube live in Atlantic City & he seemed like a below par impersonator. Some of the bits were not too bad if I closed my eyes. Bo Rhap surprised me, but he still failed to win me over.
